Newly divorced Ben Affleck was spotted getting handsy with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner during a paintball outing with their son, Samuel.
The “Gone Girl” star was seen affectionately grabbing the actress around the waist as she focused her paintball gun on a target at the Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, Calif., on Sunday.
Affleck pulled Garner in toward him, and she appeared to welcome the embrace.
Ben Affleck was spotted getting close to ex-wife Jennifer Garner at a paintball park over the weekend.
The exes appeared affectionate during an outing at the Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, Calif., on Sunday.
Affleck grabbed Garner while she appeared to be aiming at a target.
The ex-spouses stayed close together on the field, while Samuel, 13, went off with his friends. (It’s unclear whether his siblings, Violet, 19, and Seraphina, 16, were also there.)
Affleck and Garner, both 52, were also photographed laughing and chatting with each other at the paintball park.
The Oscar-winning actor was unable to wipe a smile off his face while hanging out with the “Alias” actress and even burst into laughter at one point.
Reps for the duo weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

But she did not appear to lean away from Affleck
The pair has maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship since parting ways in 2015. (Their divorce was finalized in 2018.)
A source told Page Six in January that Affleck and Garner were “spending more time together than ever” after the “Argo” star settled his divorce from Jennifer Lopez that same month.
According to our insider, the former couple “found themselves leaning on each other more than ever.”
“They really do have a close bond,” we were told.

At one point, the “13 Going on 30” star was photographed walking by herself.
Affleck fled to Garner’s house in early January after evacuating his $20.5 million Pacific Palisades home due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
They also spent time with Samuel on Valentine’s Day last month.
Meanwhile, Garner has been in an on-and-off romance with John Miller for nearly seven years. Though recently, the businessman was said to be unhappy about her “close relationship” with Affleck.
“John feels like a third wheel,” a source told Page Six in January.
